Just a cat and the floor-to-ceiling window wall that her mom got just for her.

Welp, one trip to the animal Urgent Care later and myself, the staff, and my semi-feral cat are all traumatized.

The cat, at least, gets to take narcotics.

Need you to know that this picture led me to think the words “omg I need bangs” for quite possibly the first time in my entire adult life.

(I do not have the hairline for bangs. I had bangs as a child and as a teen and looked like I had a bad mullet. I cannot get bangs and I know this.)

Moved out on my own for the first time a week ago and so far my car’s check engine light is on, I got food poisoning so bad I needed an ambulance, and now my cat is making frequent litter box trips.

I understand the desperation that led people to make ritual sacrifices in hopes of better times.

I got an apartment for my cat (only sort of kidding), and on her first day out of quarantine, with a whole apartment to explore, she just wants to sit next to me 🥹

I like to tell my mom: if you’re gonna go through a grown woman’s things, be prepared to find grown woman things.

(Granted, I haven’t been a teenager in a decade but)

I need the internet to stop showing me videos of that bay monkey and his plush toy mom. I’m not emotionally stable enough to handle that.

Get GERRYMANDERING on the ballot???

They were extremely lackluster, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s like a mini-protest?? Like they need the money, so they’re doing the job, but to phrase it the way the circulator phrased it was CRAZY to me.

(I did not sign it btw.)

Got approached at the grocery store by petition circulators to put Prop 4 on the ballot and the way they worded it was so fucked. “You know about gerrymandering?” Yeah, I know about gerrymandering. “Well, this is just to give people the option. Y’know. Just to get it on the ballot.”

I second everything John said here. I already knew Greg Ketter from DreamHaven Books was a good person so this really isn’t surprising, but at 70 he shouldn’t have to be walking through tear gas on a Minneapolis street to try to protect his neighbors. Abolish Ice.

I have been accidentally un-Vyvansing myself every morning for the last month (Celsius has enough vitamin C to cancel out adhd meds btw) and I just found $100 in cash in my coin purse??? That I put there sometime in December for “safekeeping” and then promptly forgot about??

my chem 1 class is using ai as a “thinking partner” 🙃 and as a tool to generate “practice problems” 🙃🙃 and to evaluate our answers to those “practice problems” which means that it is making up problems and then telling me if I answered it’s made-up problems correctly 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Car salesman meme depicting a car salesman speaking to a buyer. Over the car, there is text saying “my left arm”. Above the car, there is text indicating speech from the salesman saying “this baby can fit so many vaccines in it”.

and to the unmasked woman who was seated next to me three weeks ago on a plane with a hacking cough, I can’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you gave me bronchitis that’s threatening to turn itself into pneumonia but I am praying on your downfall nonetheless

Tragically, I do not know who he is, either. But this sounding more and more like an opportunity for a hyperfixation research sesh.

Did not think “will my area even be livable in 10 years” would be the make it or break it deciding factor for where I want to apply to med school but here we are!

still can’t listen to the song that was playing when I got in a car accident a year ago w/out having a good, old-fashioned flashback but I’m on a plane and I’m tempted to see what happens when I play it in a different type of moving vehicle lmao

You know that thing where you go to an airport and you’re like “damn I hope I didn’t accidentally pack a gun” (and you don’t even own a gun).

Turns out there is a medical equivalent! I have an MRI tomorrow and all I can think is “damn I hope I didn’t accidentally get a full metal hip replacement”.
